The happiest people
in the world are not those who have no problems, but those who learn to live
with things that are less than perfect.

A group of graduates,
highly established in their careers, got together to visit their old
university professor.

Conversation soon
turned into complaints about stress in work and life.Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to the kitchen and
returned with a large pot of coffee and an assortment of cups – porcelain,
plastic, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite –
telling them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all the students
had a cup of coffee, the professor said:

“If you noticed, all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up,
leaving behind the simple and cheap ones.Now consider this:

While it is normal
for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your
problems and stress.

Be assured that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee.In most cases, it is just more expensive and in
some cases even hides what we drink.What
all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went
for the best cups… Then you began eyeing each other’s cups.

– Life is the coffee;
the jobs, money and position in society are the cups.

– They are just tools
to hold and contain Life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor
change the quality of Life we live.

– Sometimes, by concentrating on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee
God has provided us. Enjoy your coffee!.”

The happiest people
don’t have the best of everything.They
just make the best of everything.

1. Live simply.

2. Love generously.

3. Care deeply.

4. Speak kindly.

5. Leave the rest to
God.

Shine a light & Enjoy the Coffee!!!You are the miracle, my friend;Your life either shines a light OR casts a shadow!
